They just designed a new mouse with 2 buttons.
it's actually a 4 button mouse with a track ball allowing both vertical and lateral scrolling.

Same here, except I've also had Explorer crash with my Mac, too. But I pretty much use Safari all the time, so that's not much of an issue.

actually they aren't buttons, they're touch sensitive areas on the mouse.

I would never try to push YOUR buttons.
Touch sensitive areas? That's too easy.

I bet "the great one" uses a Macintosh...

It has been penned that Macintosh/Apple people think that they are superior to other computer users..... They are right.. we are superior!!! just kidding (sorta!!)

Best part about Mac is that the freaks who like to write virus's (virus) leave us Mac people alone cause there are so few of us..... In the 4-5 years that I have been doing Apple I have never had a virus. I still also have a PC laptop, but my super duper Powerbook G4 laptop goes with me everywhere... like my trusted friend or my pet which doesn't have to be feed or taken out to poop.

And back about Mr. James Buffett (I love you, Jimmy)... I bet he uses a Macintosh.

Shoot, Gweneth P. even named her daughter, Apple..... wasn't that wierd?

ttfn... I have lots of time on my hands today, can you tell?

Jimmy's first version of Far Side of the World (with lost verse) was done on a Mac.

Somewhere, though I can't find it right this second, there is a pic (from the SI Swimsuit Issue last year) of Jimmy on the beach with his Powerbook.
